- Data Acquisition: In short, this is the process of fetching your data from wherever it lives, importing it into Power BI while cleaning and shaping it to meet your needs. Power BI has a revolutionary tool built in it to help you do this called Power Query. You get to access this tool from Get Data in the Power BI menu.
- Data Modelling: This is the process of taking your data and turning it into something more useful than just raw data so you can extract the key insights. Power BI has an in-built engine to help you do this. The data modelling language is DAX (Data Analysis and Expressions). Once you learn how to write DAX you will be well on the way to becoming a Power BI expert.
- Data Visualisation: Once you have loaded your data and have the database designed to answer the business questions you have, you then need to visualise the data. Power BI has a brand new visualisation engine that is in a continuous state of improvement.
